'Oops, no I'm interviewing Silvio Horta next Mon. Phew. Send me questions anyway! #SOSUglyBetty #uglybetty.'And so, I sent him a question to ask Silvio, which was :
I have a question: Silvio, can you please get hold of @msdebbieallen and her agent and get her on #uglybetty in 2010, please?
This was the response I received from Jethro, hours later on Twitter:
from @TheRealJethro:
just read your blog post arguing for Debbie Allen on #uglybetty. Well-presented.. I'll try to mention it.If you have been reading one of my blog posts from October of this year, then you would've come across one that I wrote on guest stars that I'd like to see appear on Ugly Betty and it was on none other than Debbie Allen- the star, producer and director of Fame, the successful 1982 TV series spin-off, which was based on the hit Alan Parker movie of 1980.
This all sounds very exciting- well, I am dead excited by this news. Debbie Allen is about to turn 60 (yes 60 folks!) on January during the new year and to see her reach her milestone but also land a role on the show, would be just perfect. I realise that she will have some dance and performance-related projects lined up in 2010, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to see her trek from her current home in L.A. all the way up to the East Coast of New York for an acting stint on Ugly Betty.
It would certainly be a dream come true indeed to see Debbie on Ugly Betty- seriously, this show has had so many legends appearing as guest stars and as a fan of both Debbie Allen and Ugly Betty, this would be just icing on the cake. This is the first step of what may ultimately turn out to be a huge- and I mean HUGE coup in the show's casting history.
I will be checking up on Jethro's Twitter updates, now that I am following his updates on the site and to see how the interview with Silvio went and if he has managed to answer my question. I sure bloody hope he does (and says 'yes, we will contact Debbie Allen's agent') !
Thanks Jethro! : D
